Slow-Cooked Cranberry Pork Roast

1 (3 pound) boneless rolled pork loin roast
1 (16-ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1. Place pork roast in a slow cooker.
2. In a medium bowl, mash cranberry sauce; stir in sugar, cranberry juice, mustard and cloves. Pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until meat is tender. Remove roast and keep warm.
3. Skim fat from juices; measure 2 cups, adding water if necessary, and pour into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Combine the cornstarch and cold water to make a paste; stir into gravy. Cook and stir until thickened. Season with salt. Serve with sliced pork. (Gravy is delicious over mashed potatoes.)

Serves 8.
